(hmm...I've been hitting the pasta a little too much lately...that's something I need to get outside and do...jog my reer...)

It is easy to create a jre .pet package from the .sfs. Do you want to be as dependent on others as a suckling calf, or learn how to supply your own needs? I thought so. Here's how:

1. Download the .sfs.

2. Open a Rox-filer window, navigate to the subdirectory where you downloaded the .sfs to.

3. Left-click on the .sfs. This will mount the .sfs and a Rox-Filer window will open, showing the contents of the .sfs (/etc and /usr subdirectories).

4. Open an rxvt window (Menu-->Utility-->(u)rxvt) and issue

Code:

mkdir jre-1.6.0.23
rox jre-1.6.0.23

5. Go back to the Rox-filer window which shows the contents of the .sfs.

6. Drag'n'drop the subdirs /etc/ and /usr, choose Copy, into the new jre-1.6.0.23 subdirectory.

7. Go to the rxvt window and issue

Code:

dir2pet jre-1.6.0.23

dir2pet is an automated .pet-package creation utility. For this .pet package, you can just Enter through the prompts, except, in the GUI window, you might change the label from "Java Control Panel" to "Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0_23". At one point an editor window will open, showing the pet.specs line. Just close it.

8. In the rxvt window, issue

Code:

rox

and you will see your new .pet package. Move it to somewhere outside your savefile, such as /mnt/home (or, better, create a new subdir, /mnt/home/PETS) and drag'n'drop, Move the new jre-1.6.0.23.pet into it.
